Brent GatewoodJuly 22, 2017Good service. Good beer. Anything else needed? They have a great selection of craft beer. If you like local, you should stop here for sure.
EaterJanuary 6, 2014Neighborhood Restaurant Group's brewery, along with The Arsenal, came on the scene with a whopping 20 new, ambitious beers and food to match, like fancy tater tots and beef heart tartare.- Great beer selection and well paired dishes. The Mexican radio is my favorite along with the fried chick peas. Service can be a little slow but the food is consistently superb..can be a little pricey
Serious EatsDecember 13, 2013Massive brewery-restaurant from the team behind ChurchKey in the Navy Yards. Try the mac & cheese made using spent grains from the brewing process and topped with homemade Cheeze-Its.
The Bifteki Burger is out of this world! A well-seasoned lamb & beef patty cooked to perfection and topped with pickled cucumbers, feta cheese, lolla rosa, and dill mayo with a side of fries.
Aaron PeachJune 19, 2016The beers are great!!! Excellent selection of IPA's and sours. We were there for the brunch menu and it offered some fine selections. Our server Natalie was exceptional and very helpful.
- Danielle DaSilvaJuly 13, 2018VERY popular, before a Nats game, or after, or during, or even when the Nats aren't playing. Great atmosphere and their beer list has something for everyone.
Amanda BethJanuary 31, 2019Everything at Bluejacket is incredible, but the Big Train Burger really cemented my love for the brewery. SUB FOR TATER TOTS. Their tots are a game changer
- Megan LillyAugust 15, 2019A must-stop location before or after a Nats game, but it does get very crowded! Wide variety of beer styles and amazing food! I recommend the everything pretzel. Also a great place for brunch.
Go for the tasting portions of beer - they're all great. Delicious veggie burger. You can "upgrade" your side of fries to smothered fries for $3.50. Do it!
Come for the beer, stay for the beer, come back for the beer, tasting size makes trying them easy. Bar menu features some tasty snacks, especially the tots. Restaurant side/menu isn't as distinctive.
MelJuly 22, 2017Couldn't enjoy the beer here while I was in Washington, as I am pregnant but my boyfriend enjoyed them, and the food was quite good! Would go again if I am in the area in the future!
There are a lot of interesting and unique variants on familiar styles, but to date they make one truly great beer: Mexican Radio.
Christopher PopovJuly 6, 2016Built in an old hanger or warehouse this place is like most every other brewery I've experienced. Wide spaces to congregate and enough beer variety to quench the thirst of any beer connoisseur.- WayneNovember 17, 2017All of the Bluejacket beers were amazing. The food was delicious and reasonable priced for the area. Very friendly staff as well!
- With 20 rotating draft beers that they brew on premises, this place is a must-visit spot for any beer geek out there!
Caleb HaysMay 27, 2016Beer menu and dinner menu change constantly, so this is always a great spot to try something new. Great views.- Washington PostOctober 25, 2013Bluejacket officially opens Tues. Oct 29, 2013 with 20 original beers and five casks brews. Housed in a former ship boiler factory, the brewery can produce 5,000 barrels/year, or ~10,000 kegs. Read more
Crystal U.August 10, 2014This place has great food as well as freshly brewed beer for beer lovers! They also do brewery tours on the two top levels ...
You're going to love this place!!! Can't wait for the official opening! Beer and the food today was great! Can't really go wrong with the heads behind birch and barley and church key!- Everything on cask was good. Figure 8 specifically is really good on cask. Food wise.. Apps were ok. Sean, our server, was awesome. Looking forward to going back and trying more!
- Island BruinJune 21, 2015Nitro tap Mexican Radio stout is delicious. Short walk from Nationals Park. Great spot for post game celebration (Nats win) / commiseration (Nats lose).
Chris ArmstrongMarch 11, 2014A little pricier than I wish it was but it's brand new and located in up and coming real estate. Beers solid. Food is delicious. Porter was too smokey for me but loved the IPA
Bitches Who BrunchMarch 27, 2018The Bitches say: A-. The brunch food was of the highest quality and the service was flawless. We loved the elevated bar food and pickles galore. Read more
Allison AbbottJanuary 14, 2016Really unique beers! Food was pretty good (smothered tots, butternut squash, and the bacon apple pie), but not anything amazing. Love the vibe of this place.
GelindaOctober 11, 2015The smoke trout with brussel sprouts and brown butter nage joined the menu yesterday. It was very lite and satisfying. I would definitely get it again.
Chelsea StephensJanuary 7, 2014classic. love the bluejacket. I can't wait for them to start bottling their own brews. the expat is a great choice in beverage if you're overwhelmed by the options.
Rachel LSeptember 17, 2017Awesome beer list. All brewed onsite. Try the Tots, roast beef sandwich, and pirogies
Really good beer, great food too! Mexican Radio is great, so is the grilled cheese!
ZoeMarch 6, 2019Can’t go wrong with the WANGS. Perfect place to set up for an afternoon of game watching.
BRIT BOWLESAugust 7, 2014You'll find beers that are different than your other breweries and it has a nice outdoor patio. On weekends at select times the regular menu was not offered and it's pricey for what you got.
Mateo JuezNovember 29, 2013Sampled like 7 beers all were good to great. Shrimp burger was awesome and weird. The interior is expertly designed and executed, service was knowledgable and nice but slow.
olivier PEYRESeptember 10, 2014"As beer and fried foods are a natural pairing, we recommend the house-made tater tots, pork rinds, pig tails and fries. " FoodRepublic
Jorge MejiaOctober 31, 2013Forget the burger (way too dry) and maybe try the cassoulet, which comes with a generous and delicious portion of lamb neck. Figure 8 beer was great
Allison KaminskiJanuary 3, 2015Awesome space and brewery!! Wish we had more time to try more drinks before the game. Definitely make a reservation before games.
Jamila SmithMay 9, 2014Eat from the outside wood grill. It gives the meat a more authentic flavor. On Friday there's live jazz at 6:30. Kid & pet friendly.
Jae WatkinsJune 16, 2017Great beer options. Cool vibe. Delicious food. What more do you need in life..
Ari SternNovember 11, 2013The gose with lavender is awesome. Pig tails, fried pigs head, sausages, pastas, and all the dessert by Tiffany Macissac are amazing
Lived up to the buildup. Great beers and awesome tater tots. And closer to Nats Park than I thought.
Love the James and the Giant and the Figure 8, but skip the cask on the latter-- the coffee and vanilla are overpowering.
Get here early. The place is packed nightly by 6pm, and the line starts forming 15-30 minutes before opening on weekends.
First We FeastAugust 4, 2014Try this: Honeysuckle Rose—a collaboration with the Brewer's Art in Baltimore—is a biere de garde made with honeysuckle, rose buds, and hibiscus flowers. Read more

Wendy PittmanDecember 1, 2013The Kale Caesar is a must-have...and if, you decide to dine at the Arsenal at Bluejacket Brewery, please have a reservation.
Fried Chickpeas, Warm & Soft Beer Pretzels, Crab Deviled Eggs... What? Bar Snacks? DO NOT miss out!
Beth KMay 5, 2022Really liked this place- spacious and chill vibe. Food was delicious. Good drink options
